Dear Beagleowner,
I had to write because my heart breaks for you this morning. BlackandBlue said it beautifully.
You said you loved Henry and if you did, trust me, he knew it and he felt loved. By your words here, your love for him is obvious to me.
Making the decision to euthanize a much loved pet is so painful. I made that same decision on 03/03/2003, to put my much loved black lab, Hannah, down. I was there with her, holding her, and when the weight of her body fell against me it broke my heart and all I could think was, what have I done. I still feel that way sometimes and it still brings tears to my eyes. It was years before I would get another dog, but I still miss Hannah.
You did your very best and Henry had a good life. He stretched your heart a little bit more to make room for a little more love in it. It’ll always hurt, but someday, it won’t hurt as much.
Peace & Blessings, Betsy
